I spent Friday and Saturday completely respeccing and reoutfitting my level 50 illusion/radiation troller, Shinobu Valentine (spending money, bad bad marketer!). Early Sunday I tested my new build in an AE farm team.

I decided that I needed more endurance recovery. (Doesn't everyone like to run seven toggles and spam heals, holds and attacks while tossing out pets?) I put in a few bids on some things that would help, including two pieces of Unbreakable Constraint set (4% recovery).

I joined an ITF. I logged off directly after it ended without selling.

Later I logged back on and hit Wentworth's to check my bids. Several had come through. I collected my new recipes, then opened up my recipe window so I could see what salvage I needed to buy.

I noticed a purple recipe in my inventory -- Unbreakable Constraint Hold/Recharge. I didn't think I'd collected one of those bids, but still I thought, "Cool! My bid came through!" Then I glanced at the WW window. My bid for an Unbreakable Constraint Hold/Recharge was still there.

>.>
<.<

That was just a little bit eerie. I've had purple recipes drop to me less than half a dozen times before... having exactly what I was bidding on drop to me is just weird.

On the other hand, I suppose if an Armageddon had dropped to me I could have sold it and bought my Unbreakable Constraint 5 times over....



On a side note, gotta love nerdrage on a TF. We had one person quit on the ITF, apparently because we weren't fast enough or organized enough. Nevermind that we still finished in a little over an hour and dropped Rommy 4 times straight with no special strategy other than clearing the front platform first. Friday I was on a Kahn TF and someone quit because the team "couldn't stay together". Never mind that he was the blaster who liked to attack before anyone else and would run off in a different direction from the tank -- thus the complaints that we weren't "sticking together". We finished fine without him, too.

Yeah I think every time I've had someone quit a TF due to nerdrage it's gone smoother without them than it did with them.

I hope, too, that he also finished with a nice single glowing star above his name, with an explanation to boot.

And gratz on the purple drop.
